Behind the Scenes in Naruto World - Chapter 177
Uehara didn’t care about it that much. Under Kabuto’s guidance, he found a bunch of snake ninjutsu and threw them all into the exchange list.
Kabuto was also not idle.
Kabuto asked Uehara to dispose of a batch of experimental equipment that Orochimaru did not often use, which he would use in the future when the Biological Science Research Laboratory opened in Amegakure.
Uehara didn’t care and even wanted to take it one step further, “We might as well take it all away! Anyway, this time, Orochimaru attacked Konoha again. I’m guessing that Tsunade will send someone to encircle Otogakure soon!”
“…”
Kabuto glanced at Uehara speechlessly and pushed his glasses. He was a little suspicious. Had Uehara had been planning to hit this base all along?
First, he forced Orochimaru to steal the Rashomon summoning contract scroll and attacked Konoha with him. Then, in the process, he let Orochimaru take the blame, and now he wanted to empty Orochimaru’s base under the name of Konoha encirclement.
After all, over the past few years, the majority of Orochimaru had all been concentrated in this base.
Some of the scientific experiment instruments here were hand-made by Orochimaru, so no one could easily reproduce them.
“It’s fine. I will take it all away.”
Uehara took a lot of seal scrolls to empty the experimental base, then waved goodbye to Kabuto.
Before leaving, Uehara summoned Obito and asked him to release Orochimaru and his Impure World Reincarnation puppet.
“Bastard!”
When Orochimaru came out, he gritted his teeth at Uehara and suddenly clenched his fist, “Uehara, I haven’t settled accounts with you yet!”
“Let’s do it together next time!”
Uehara squinted at Orochimaru, and after showing a friendly smile, he disappeared in front of Orochimaru.
“It’s that space-time ninjutsu again!”
Orochimaru’s expression was ugly, “No wonder this guy always appears suddenly!”
“Orochimaru-sama…”
Kabuto said with an awkward expression, “Naraku-sama has completely emptied this experimental base.”
Orochimaru only now noticed that his secret base was empty, and a burst of anger surged up, almost unable to suppress his rage!
It’s a pity that he couldn’t get angry at Kabuto.
After all, Kabuto did not have the strength to stop Uehara.
“I… forget it.”
Orochimaru’s clenched fist gradually loosened, and he said in a deep voice, “When I went to Konoha that time, I already exposed my whereabouts. Tsunade will send people to encircle the Otogakure soon, so this base could not be kept anyway. Let’s go to the northern base!”
Orochimaru had foreseen the coming crisis.
In order to mobilize enough manpower to encircle Orochimaru, Konoha had decided to end the confrontation with Iwa in the Land of Grass at any cost.
To avoid another Ninja War, Tsunade began to use political and diplomatic means to deal with it and decided to initiate an alliance meeting.
In addition to the Land of Wind and Land of Water, the two small countries near the Land of Earth, the Land of Rain and Land of Waterfall, also received Tsunade’s invitation.
The methods of this Fifth Hokage were stronger than her teacher Hiruzen, and both coercion and temptation were used.
The leader of Konohagakure, the most powerful ninja village in the Ninja World, was shameless, but this was no place to reason about that kind of thing.
Amegakure.
The rain was still pouring.
When Uehara returned to the village, Konan was looking at the invitation letter sent by the Konoha messenger in her hand. Her face was a little complicated and hesitant.
When Konan heard some movement, she raised her head, and the hesitation on her face stopped. Her eyebrows couldn’t help but bend, and she chuckled, “Naraku, you’ve finally come back.”
“Sensei?”
Uehara’s expression was slightly puzzled, and he was a little uncomfortable. This was the first time Konan was not angry when he returned to the village.
Wasn’t this time to strike while the iron was hot?
Uehara drew out the Book of Seal neatly. He squinted his eyes and handed it to Konan with a smile, “Sensei, this time I brought you a gift!”
The smile on Konan’s face gradually faded, leaving only a trace of doubt and confusion, “Is this… whose corpse is this?”
“No!”
Uehara slapped the Book of Seal and explained softly, “This is Konoha’s Book of Seals. Didn’t Orochimaru attack Konoha a few days ago? That guy must have snatched this Book of Seals at that time, and it happens that I snuck into his base and found this.”
“Huh? Did you secretly track Orochimaru again?”
Konan’s brows suddenly frowned, and when she was about to educate Uehara, she closed her mouth subconsciously.
After a while, the expression on Konan’s face eased slightly. She sighed softly and said, “Since Orochimaru mastered Impure World Reincarnation, he attacked Konoha twice unharmed. His strength now was different than in the past, so don’t put yourself in danger so easily.”
“Okay.”
Uehara nodded obediently.
Konan slowly stood up and stretched out her palm to help Uehara tidy his hair. She continued softly, “Didn’t you say you want to become an official member of Akatsuki? Nagato and I have agreed. But you must wear a hood when you perform missions to hide your identity, and also, there is a task that requires a lot of manpower.”
“Really? What task?”
“An assault on Konoha’s Anbu in the Land of Grass.”
Konan put down the scroll in her hand and took out another one. She whispered softly, “The Third Tsuchikage Onoki paid Akatsuki at a high price to help them attack Konoha’s Anbu and destroy the alliance meeting the Fifth Hokage initiated.”
This was the biggest task that Akatsuki had received so far.
However, this task required a lot of manpower. After all, a full-scale attack on Konoha’s Anbu would be launched in all parts of the Land of Grass, and Konoha’s Anbu had to be driven out within one day. A small team could not easily accomplish this.
What’s more, the follow-up operation was to destroy the alliance meeting consisting of the initiator, the Fifth Hokage Tsunade, the actual power holder in the Kirigakure, Terumi Mei, the elder consultant in Sunagakure, Chiyo, and the leader of the Takigakure, Shibuki.
Put simply, Akatsuki’s members needed to be scattered to various places to attack Tsunade, Terumi Mei, and Chiyo’s teams, killing or repelling them.
The danger was also much greater than previous missions taken by the Akatsuki.
“Alliance Meeting?”
After Uehara was finally happy that he could become Akatsuki’s member, he became a little curious. He really hadn’t received any news recently.
“The Fifth Hokage Tsunade initiated it.”
Konan picked up the scroll that had been on the table and handed it to Uehara, “The location is in the Daimyo Mansion of the Land of Grass two weeks later. Konoha also invited the Amegakure. They want you or Hanzo to participate, but you have to perform Akatsuki’s mission….”
Konan slowly raised her head to look at Uehara and said softly, “To be honest, I want to get you to participate in this meeting. It would make the other ninja village recognize you as the future leader of Amegakure, but Nagato said that I should let you decide….”
“…”
Uehara held the scroll subconsciously.
After a while, Uehara suddenly raised his head and chuckled, “I’m going to participate in this alliance meeting and participate in the mission!”
“Oh?”
“If you just look at the map, whether it is Iwa or Konoha who want to get the Land of Grass, it will be very dangerous for us who are close to it. Almost half of our country will border the winning country when they link up.”
Uehara touched his chin and thought for a while. He slowly raised his head and said, “The members of the Akatsuki organization will attack Konoha’s Anbu first and drive them all out of the Land of Grass. Konoha will not easily give up, so the alliance meeting between the other villages will surely continue.”
Uehara squeezed his finger and chuckled lightly, “Then I will go to the alliance meeting to see if I could make an agreement with Konoha, such as getting part of the land.”
This was equivalent to eating at both ends.
On one hand, Konoha would be at a disadvantage in the battle for the Land of Grass thanks to the task entrusted to the Akatsuki organization by the Iwa. On the other hand, using his identity as an Ame ninja, he would help Konoha seize the Land of Grass and attack Iwa along the way.
Uehara knew it well.
The size of ??the Land of Grass was not less than that of the Country of Rain. It would already be good if the Amegakure could get a part of it, and after all, it was impossible to get too much.
“…”
After Konan was silent for a while, she suddenly raised her palm and stroked her cheek. The corners of her lips curved. She smiled and said, “Nagato was right. Naraku really wants to do something big!”
“Uh, okay!”
The rain outside the window was getting heavier.
A girl with a bun on her head suddenly said loudly outside the window, “Lady Angel, we were patrolling and found someone entering from here…”
“Huh? Ajisai?”
Konan retracted her palm subconsciously and turned her head slowly to look at the girl who spoke. She explained softly, “No one invaded, and it was Naraku who came back.”
“Has Naraku-senpai come back?”
Ajisai stopped outside the window for a while. After squeezing her small fist, she bowed at Konan and walked away.
“Well, do they need to patrol in such heavy rain?”
Uehara looked at Ajisai with some curiosity and stepped into the rain, “Isn’t Ukojizai no Jutsu (Rain Tiger at Will Technique) is constantly being used for perception and defense?”
Konan shook her head and whispered, “We want it to become a habit of ninjas in the village. Sooner or later, Amegakure will depend on you young people.”
“How could it be?”
Uehara raised his eyebrows. He chuckled and shook his head. He then said, “Konan-sensei is just thirty-two years old this year! You are still young!”
This was the truth.
Around thirty years old was the most mature time for women.
Konan’s face instantly turned cold, and she whispered, “Well, since you are back, go and see Nagato. He must miss you very much.”
“Okay.”
Uehara nodded and said softly, “I also brought him a gift. It just so happened that it should be able to help him.”
“Wait…”
Seeing Uehara pushing the door to leave, Konan’s palm suddenly moved, and the sheets of origami paper turned into a paper umbrella. She handed it to Uehara and said, “The rain outside is so heavy, don’t let your clothes get wet anymore. “
“…”
Uehara glanced at the paper umbrella with some inexplicable words. Would this really be useful for such heavy rain outside?
Moreover, with his physique, how could he be afraid of rain!
After leaving Konan’s office, Uehara looked around and glanced at a group of Ame ninja team patrolling in the rain.
Three people were using two umbrellas.
Among them, Ajisai walks in the middle looking a little pitiful.
Well, since he left, had Amegakure funding become so tight?
“Here, take it!”
Uehara handed his paper umbrella to Ajisai in the middle and whispered softly, “You guys can continue to patrol. I will go to the central tower to see Pain-sama, and I don’t really need an umbrella.”
“Yes.”
Ajisai stretched out her palm and said, “I don’t want your things, but I know Lady Angel made this umbrella, so I will take it.”
Uehara, “…”
So you like Konan but not me?
What’s wrong with the little girls in Ninja World!
But when Ajisai stretched out her hand to take the paper umbrella in Uehara’s hand, she saw the Chakra on the simple paper umbrella suddenly disappear, and the whole paper umbrella fell apart and turned into sheets of paper.
Ajisai slowly raised her head, her eyes gradually showing a trace of grief and anger: “Naraku-senpai, did you do it on purpose?”
Everyone in the Amegakure knew that Ajisai worshiped Konan!
But Uehara destroyed the paper umbrella Konan made!
Uehara slowly turned his head and looked at the window of Konan’s office. A tall figure stood there watching.
Uehara looked at the grieving little girl. He shook his head and sighed, “I also want to ask my Sensei about this.”
